The Red Hand

Heroic Flaws

Sam Spade should have known. When a dame with gams like that walks into your office, your day isn’t going to end pretty, but…

The characters and the heroes we love have flaws. Wolverine is a misanthrope, Bond a womanizer, and Luke a whiny bitch. They make the characters more interesting and help guide the story towards interesting dilemmas and confrontations. This should be true of your characters too.

Crunch: When the situation calls for it, a player can call on his weakness and voluntarily complicate a scene in exchange for a bounty reward or, alternatively, another player can call on it at an appropriate moment and reap the reward for you or himself.
